March 21 .-T Immediate claim to fishing rights in the Bering sea for the United States wa urged today by Senators Magnuson and Mitchell, Washington democrats, in a conference with Interior Secretary Ickes. The area, around the Aleu tians and oilier islands off the coast of Alaska, is regarded as one of the great fishing grounds of the world. Fished before the war by the Japanese, it is noted particularly for the giant king crab, halibut, cod, and sole. Senator Magnuson told a re porter Ickes had promised to urge President Roosevelt to pro claim the Bering shelf United States territory. Magnuson also said that he and Mitchell were urging that immediate advantage be taken of this source of food and hoped to work out a plan for release of sufficient ships by the war shipping administration as a fishing fleet in that area. He said also that the army is attempting to interest men experienced in the fishing in dustry to take over tuna fish ing in the waters around the Marianas and other South Pa cific islands where the Japanese used to operate. With floating canneries and refrigerator ships, the senators said, the new fleet could sup ply a large amount of food di rectly to troops engaged in the Pacific war. Erickson Succeeds Dr. F. D.

March 21 iPi The government was urged to day lo encourage more private operators to go into the alum inum industry. This is neces sary. Dr. Paul J. Raver told the senate small business committee. because aluminum has become "a matter of the highest strategy ! in the national defense." Raver, head of the Bonneville j power administration, said:. I "Had there been additional! production at the beginning of this war. the situation would have been healthier all around. : We should see to it thai we are; prepared for the possibility of another war by having a num- her of producers so that expan- ! sion o fproduction can proceed 1 quickly and not be held up by j lack of trained personnel or sup- ; plies of raw material, including power." j " In the long run, Raver de clared, aluminum production should further expand in the Pacific northwest because "no where else in the country ex cept at the St. Lawrence pro ject." will there develop large quantities of low cost power competititive with the Colum bia river. Asserting Bonneville power has made possible nearly one third the national output of aluminum, he said "in this sense one-third of the United States air power has depended on our hydro projects for airplane al muinum."

The de struction of the German forces was so complete it seemed doubtful that Hitler's army could rally for a stand in strength east of the Rhine where greater offensives cur rently were in the making. Ruhr Valley Next Extension of the First army's east Rhine brideghead to a de ployment area at least 25 miles long and up to nine wide under scored the clearcut threat to the Ruhr, invaded on the west and threatened by Lt.
